Hello, everyone. The thing is that this map is my favorite and I played it a lot with my friends. However, it is a somewhat rudimentary map compared to others, and there are not many users who play it, that's why I decided to open the editor and improve it as much as possible, although my...

Hi people, I've been learning how to make spells on my own for sometime now and then realised the Hive has loads of tutorials. Sadly, I can't seem to figure out what's going wrong in my triggers. It is a hero ability, copied off the Firebolt (Warlock). What is it meant to do: Shoot firebolt...

So I know this is going to sound odd but I am looking to make a kind of anti-charm. The idea is i want to make a unit that you can't attack but one player can control. They use an aoe charm spell to change a group of units to creep class (so the person with the unit does not get control) but it...

I'm creating a spell that creates an area and continuously damages enemies inside. It works perfectly on single unit but halves the damage when more than single unit goes in. Any way to fix this? I'm new to triggers.

Can you change the weather effects in Reforged yet? Can for example I make a sandstorm across the map in high quality? Can I make rain look much more realistic and increase it? Does anyone have any examples or tutorials or videos of this?

Hi everyone! I was hoping someone else might remember a custom map that I use to play a lot, a long time ago. From what I remember it was some sort of survival style map. The map itself was massive, I think it was mostly tropical, but remember a giant snowy mountain in the west side of the map...

I'm creating a 3 player rpg and in my rpg there are various professions one of those professions is Cooking. In short I tried searching for some sort of Omelet icon and was unable to find a nice one. My idea is for an omelet version of the Thunder lizard Egg icon which already exists in Warcraft 3.

Essentially what I've been trying to figure out to do is a trigger that would enable my RPG to detect which of the three players are online so they can all get the game started at once. Let me specify a bit more. In my rpg you start at a race selection screen then a class selection screen...
